Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Gambling

Finished reading ‘Gambling’ by Mike Atherton (yes, the former England cricket captain) which surveys the history, development and current trends in betting, in a well-written, insightful and interesting fashion, though for me the interest is purely academic, being almost pathologically risk-averse with my only flutter being the occasional purchase of a raffle ticket when cornered by a good cause, and then the worst that can happen is to actually win and be forced to take home somebody else’s unwanted Christmas present.
